How do I get the Firefox 4.0 to take me directly to a new web page simply by putting in the keywords like in the last firefox?

In the last firefox i could simply put keywords in the adress bar such as "wiki kitten" or "coca cola" and it would take me straight to the correct page related to it even if I had never visited it before. Now if I type in key words in the adress bar it simply performs a google search on it. Is there a way to get it to act like it previously did?

The change between Firefox 3.6.* and Firefox 4 is how location bar search works. In Firefox 3.6 it uses Google "Browse by name" search. With the browse by name search, it performs a Google search and if there is a clear match it will take you to the site, otherwise it shows the Google search result. With Firefox 4 it just performs a Google search if you type something which is not recognised as a URL.

To get the Firefox 3.6 behaviour on Firefox 4 you need to change a hidden preference.

  1. Type about:config into the location bar and press enter
  2. Accept the warning message that appears, you will be taken to a list of preferences
  3. Locate the preference keyword.URL, double-click on it and change its value to the link shown below

http://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&sourceid=navclient&gfns=1&q=

If you prefer, you can also do this by installing the Browse by Name extension - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/browse-by-name
